So we will see far more 60fps games on the PS4 than on the One?

when?

Drive club and Forza disagree. KIllzone is saying nothing.

Someone here laughed his ass off and told me that it would be pathetic if driving games arent 60fps in the next gen... he was a PS4 fan responding to the Forza confirmation of 60fps you see....

alas drive club has let him down already.

Driveclub and Forza are both launch title games, so they don't even tap into 10% of the power of next gen consoles.

Wait at least 2 years before legit comparisons.


...and yet one is 60fps and one is 30fps.

ah well.



Yet one uses prebaked lighting and the other uses dynamic lighting with the track changing appearance dynamically during a race. Also Evolution have said they are aiming for 60fps. (I cincerely hope they hit that target). I think Forza looks amazing but technically isn't doing much, hiding that fact with birds, helicopters and HDR out the wazoo. DriveClub could end up looking like a true next gen game, with it's visual dynamism making up for the fact it isn't as picture postcard pretty.

So let me get this straight.  The game that is using the Dynamic lighting can barely hold 30FPS, did not look that hot and struggled on this superior hardware, while this other game that did not use Dynamic Lighting, looked great ran a a solid 60FPS without dropping a frame and I am suppose to be impressed by the underperforming game.  So what you are telling us is that Evolution is trying to do something the hardware does not have the muscle to do or they do not have the skill to make it work and we the consumer is suppose to give them a pass.

In the end, only fanboys care about what technique is used to make a game.  People who play games just want ti to perform good and look great and they really do not care if one is using prebaked lighting or dynamic.
